amelia was so fussy on one side that at 4months (she 8 1/5 now ) she stopped feeding off the right one all-together . i freaked out thinking there was something wrong with it , but i dont think there was , plunket advised me i could still feed off one side so now 4 1/2months later she is still only taking the left side and the right side has all dried up , im very lopsided first thing in the morning but during the day you cant even tell unless she hasnt fed for a few hours . ]]> Tue, 23 Mar 2010 20:28:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32072&PID=977385&title=fussy-on-one-side#977385 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32072&PID=968650&title=fussy-on-one-side#968650 Author: jacobsmummy

I had this probem, someone suggested to me that I try feeding Mac laying down.
Once I worked out HOW to do that, it was sweet. Never had an issue with a prefered side since.]]> Sun, 14 Mar 2010 17:08:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32072&PID=967780&title=fussy-on-one-side#967780 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32072&PID=961128&title=fussy-on-one-side#961128 Author: jacobsmummy

My Bella crys when i feed her on the right side, its wired , jacob never did. I wondered if its cos im on the mini pill?i started that in january and ever since then shes been crying after my let down comes down she gets grumpy . mayb the milk isnt coming out faster enough for her or something..
Plus i think my girl is ready for solids now she was 2mths early at birth so her corrected age next week will be 5mths.]]> Mon, 08 Mar 2010 12:26:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32072&PID=961128&title=fussy-on-one-side#961128 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32072&PID=960103&title=fussy-on-one-side#960103 Author: Shezamumof3

Bella is often fussy one side too, also, sometimes I'll try feeding her on say my right side and she will fuss and pop off and get mad, so I switch to my left and she will drink happily, funny girl lol, even though my right side had plenty of milk!]]> Sat, 06 Mar 2010 22:47:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32072&PID=960103&title=fussy-on-one-side#960103 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32072&PID=959256&title=fussy-on-one-side#959256 Author: AandCsmum

I'm lopsided I hope like hell that it comes back normal!

I think I've got a boob that produces a let down fast & far more milk than the other. I try to start on the slower side more often than the faster side.]]> Fri, 05 Mar 2010 20:36:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32072&PID=959256&title=fussy-on-one-side#959256 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32072&PID=958468&title=fussy-on-one-side#958468 Author: Bizzy

IME babies do seem to have a preference for one side over the other. you could try a different hold like the rugby hold and see if that is better or offer from the less popular side first.]]> Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:21:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32072&PID=958468&title=fussy-on-one-side#958468 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32072&PID=958214&title=fussy-on-one-side#958214 Author: tiptoes

Is there a way to make a baby less fussy on one side? Cooper pops off and won't stay on properly on my left quite often and I think sometimes I assumed he just wasn't hungry when he did this, but I started offering formula top ups yesterday and he was doing that and then drank 80ml!! I squeezed and there was milk there, so it wasn't like it was all gone but it looked quite creamy so I might have already offered that side before (I'm a bit forgetful about which side I've last done) so not sure if that's the problem either.

I'm a bit worried that it's going to upset my milk supply if I start doing loads of top ups so if I can fix this it would be better and I'd rather not overfeed on the right and end up lopsided either

Strangely it was the right side that I initially had problems with mastisis and cracked nipples and avoided so it's kind of weird.
